There's even a free drop-in workshop for kids from noon to 3 p.m. Merry Mart, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Dec. 2 at the Creative Alliance at the Patterson, 3134 Eastern Ave. Free. 410-276-1651 or creativealliance.org. Dec. 8: Last Chance Show Organized by crafters largely unable to get into Merry Mart and Holiday Heap and separated from the more established shows by a week, Last Chance offers just that -- a final chance, before the holidays, for shoppers and creators to link up with one another. The juried show also offers live music and, for harried parents, kids' activities to keep the young ones occupied. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Dec. 8 at Faith Community Church, 5315 Harford Road. Free. 443-695-5367 or charmcitycraftivists.blogspot.com.
